Joni Mitchell


"Travelogue" is a 2002 double album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, featuring orchestral re-recordings of songs from throughout her career. It is her 18th studio album and follows her 2000 release Both Sides Now, which had a similar orchestral format. Upon its release, Mitchell announced that Travelogue would be her last album, although she later went on to record one more studio album, Shine. The orchestral arrangements for Travelogue were composed by Vince Mendoza, who won a 2004 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) for his arrangement of "Woodstock." Despite this recognition, the album was not commercially successful, failing to chart and receiving mixed reviews from critics. As of 2007, the two-disc set had sold approximately 72,000 copies in the United States.
